Pattern dynamics in large aspect ratio lasers

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

A novel out-of-phase oscillating standing wave pattern which appears as a stable output of the laser near threshold is discussed in this paper. When time-averaged, this pattern appears as a stationary square lattice bearing a remarkable similarity to the recent experimental observations in a high Fresnel number CO2 laser. Also, the existence of complex spatio-temporal pattern evolutions are predicted. This, when time integrated, appear stationary and rather regular.
